Critics vow extended Senate debate on SST funds
In Washington the Senate will push for extended debate on funding the supersonic transport program if the House and Senate conference endorses the plan. Sen. Gaylord Nelson and Sen. William Proxmire back a prolonged fight to attach any SST money to the transportation bill, arguing the program should not be funded this session. The deliberations come as both chambers seek to end the lame duck session by Christmas, with proposals ranging from 145 to 280 million dollars and potential delays in development and first flights into the next decade.
